Antivaxxers are the same nutjobs who have now latched on to the muh ayylmao congressional testimony. The same people who shat on one authority figure (Fauci etc.) are now worshipping another (Grusch).
Because the one authority says to trust in science and it is complicated. The other authority says to just follow his gut and you dont need to bother with logic anyways because fuck nerds. Also you are so smart for listening to it and all the other people are dumb.
So of course the idiots like to listen to the second one.
Haven’t been keeping up to date with this. Has there actually been an uptick in cardiac problems due to the vaccine? I know my resting heart rate was chronically elevated, seemingly after I caught the coronavirus and continued distance running without realising. And I was fully vaccinated already. What’s the current evidence on all these claims? And what should I be doing, as somebody trying to improve their cardiovascular fitness?
Antivaxxers are cartoonish characters created by the media to discredit those who opposed people in power. People like Trump or Bolsonaro said a lot of stupid and wrong things on purpose to discredit all the arguments. All the antivaxxers who appeared on the media are no better, actors playing the role of the idiots.
The opinion of the real opposition is:
COVID19 vaccines were available when the overwhelming majority of people already developed the antibodies on their own, therefore they were useless.
Viruses of that family mutate so frequently and are so contagious that there is no way to develop a vaccine on time. They will always arrive after people already came into contact with the virus and fought it off on their own.
Also the lock downs started after people already had their course with the virus and fought it off on their own. Lock downs were politically motivated, they saved absolutely nobody.
The story of the heart conditions looks like another false alarm to distract the attention from the real problem. Until now we used vaccines for a limited number of serious diseases and the vaccines were carefully tested over a long period. That was a sensible way to use vaccines because the mechanism is still not fully understood by science. Imposing by force two vaccinations every year with untested vaccines means playing too much with a mechanism we do not fully understand and nobody knows what the long term consequences could be.
Pretty much: everyone’s dumb when they’re talking about shit they don’t know about and have no experience with. If you let people collaborate organically though, they can understand eachother better and come up with much better ideas than if they were each working separately in their own separate little departments and communicating via help desk tickets and bug reports
If you make 1x1 pixel transparent undocumented button hidden in the most obscure place, which when pressed will spawn five elephants with severe diarrhea right near the user and then four clowns will appear and rape that user and then a meteor will fall right from the skies, someone surely will build a business process around that button
Counterpoint: devs frequently downplay user’s needs and inflate the importance of their own ideas, and because they’re often in an echo chamber of their own team’s environment, they never hear meaningful kickback from anyone they respect (because they certainly don’t respect users).
Then they share this comic back forth literally every time users complain.
Someone, in the slack channels of reddit’s devs, shared this exact comic with this exact attitude because of the backlash. And it was met with the same approval as the comments here.
Wh have met with the users who use our product. But they don’t seem very able to articulate what it is they actually want or need from the system. It’s always vague ideas and nothing actionable.
Them: Oh we need to be able to find customers even if they can’t remember their account number.
Us: Yes but you can, just enter the company name.
This is usually met with either a vague “yeah” or “no not like that”, and then they never elaborate.
Much like the old internet adage: if you want to know the answer to something, confidently state the wrong answer, and inevitably someone who knows the correct answer will chime in to correct you.
You used to be able to get people to quickly give you an exact no bullshit straight to the point answer in Linux support forums by making a post along the lines of “Linux sucks because x never works. Windows is obviously superior because it’s possible to make x work”. Someone would then refute all your points and post how to fix your problem.
